Re: shut out of act 2005 - asks for password - never had one

You're very kind to help. I dont think the problem is a password - I did not have one. I think I need to make the database synch, and there is no help for that in the notes you so kindly pointed me to. How does one make the databasae synch? THere is a repair database button, but I do not know if that will fix the problem, and I also am concerned about the warnign that the action will detach the database. Am I sure I want to continue? I dont kow what the implications are so dont know how much damage I woudl do by detaching the database, and how I can access it after it has been detached.

You are consistently kind, thank you. I have so far failed ot reach the numbers given, and the other information on the page you refered to did ot help, either. Iwonder whether installing a later - say 2007 version of act might get me into my data base. Hope you have a great day! Judith

while ACT! 2007 or 2008 would give you advantages and be faster, you'll need the user/pass in order to update the database.
